Keren Avraham provides scholarships for the airfare to Israel as an incentive to help students make the crucial decisions involving their futures as Jews. The scholarship is designed to match young adults 19-32 up with nonjudgmental programs for an in-depth learning experience. In less than a year and a half we have given over 150 scholarships from every continent. Keren Avraham has developed a number of special relationships with programs in Jerusalem that are willing to waive their fees to give students a peek at what they have to offer. Our experience has shown that an exciting and refreshing learning experience in Israel is the only way to go. We think you would agree that learning in Israel definitely beats several years of squeezing in classes now and then at home. We want to offer more than just a vacation, but a growth experience. Really, when it comes down to it, all that stands between you and reconnecting to your Judaism is the airfare to Israel. And that's why we're here to help!
